Numb

[Bry89]

Numb, I feel
Inside of me
On my skin
Tiredness, comes quickly
The mind in agony
The blood runs thin

Numb, and it hurts
What's wrong with me?
Why is it me?
Strength becomes weakness
Losing grip of it all
And losing my mind
This is not what life is supposed to be

Fall against the wall
Drop myself to the wall
The pain may be gone, for now
But every day, it's always the same

The pain that I'm left with now
Is not what I asked for
I can't remove it
I can't wish it away
And it's all your fucking fault
Instead of caring
You decide to hurt
The final words that you said to me
Was like a needle right through me

Numb, I feel
Numb, and it hurts like hell
Numb forever

Actually a reference to the constant dull pain on my upper arm since I got the Covid booster jab two months ago. Nothing I can do about it...

That...would be frustrating...and that's precisely the feeling comes through in your verse.

Have you reported it to VAERS? I think that's what it's called, in the US anyway.

I hope relief will come at some point. Sorry to hear it.

I'm in the UK, so I don't think there's an equivalent to that... but in all fairness, it's not always sore. It's either the booster jab after that same arm had been pricked twice already or maybe I've recently pulled a muscle and never realised it. I dunno...

I don't even get flu shots.

Good luck with it.

Since that entry, my arm has healed now... by itself. Weird 🤷♂️

But it's still relevant in the age of Covid anyway...
